| Research Abstract |
The Subject of this research-project was emprically to study the methodological change of population censues and the development of statistical systems in the advanced countries that are meeting the structural conversion and to construct the political-scientific base for the statistical Information policy from the international viewpoint in the 21 century.
In this research first we surveyed the census-taking process of the 2000 population census and the concept and planning of the 2010 in real-time in U.S.A, U.K., France and Germany and, specially analysed the concrete conditions of undercount-problem and the basic method change from the traditional census of saurvey-style to the new concepts of the census.
Secondly we held the two international conferences (in Kyushu Univ.and Japan scientific Council, 2002. and in Kumamoto and Tokyo, 2004) and by the cooperative reports and discussions we could confirm that the political and social causes for the foundamental change of the census method are (1)the low public relation of the census, (2)financial and organizational weakness of local statistical system and (3)the development of automated aministrative register system in the governmental agencies and find out that the directions of the method change in the census of the advanced countries are very different each others, i.g. Census wtih Form Tracking System in U.S.A and U.K., Rolling Census in France and Census based on the register in germany, depended on statistical tradition and subjects of each country.
Last we considered that such basic change of the census method that we found out and confirm also are closing in the Populaton Census of Japan and on the siginificance of the 2005 Japanese Population Census towards the 2010 round World Censuson we made a speach from the viewpoint of statistical Policy.
The rsults of our survey were specially published in the two special volumes of Statitical Institute Japan.
